In San Francisco, the median cost to rent a one-bedroom apartment is $3,240. While the affordable housing crisis in Las Vegas is nowhere near this bad yet, we must act now to prevent the affordable housing situation in our community from spiraling out of control. To be clear, affordable housing will have virtually no impact on home equity - it is a matter of ensuring hard working people have decent affordable housing for them and their families. Tony will fight to enact the following solutions to make sure all Nevadans have access to affordable housing.
